I grew up on Soniat and Freret , attended McMain and Fortier. The thing I remembered most about Bill Longs bakery was the donuts and milk my brother and I bought after mass at our Lady of Lourdes on Sunday mornings. Reading this brings me back to 1965, my goodness, times were great then!!! I was 10 then now I'am 57. Took a ride through there when I came home for carnival. Some things didn't change but a lot did. That part of New Orleans will always be home for me.

Once again this proves this proves that age 17 most young men have graduated from HS and have a course of life to look ahead to. But if you are 17 running around with a assault rifle you should be in US Army basic training. This nation needs the draft to be reinstated immediately! It would cure all those young men running around with weapons trying to kill people. Lets train them and send them to Iraq or Afganistan then they could shoot all day and nite and we would really see how tought they are. Plus it would give them a little discipline and make a productive man out of them!

We all know what the problem is here in this city. It seems certain folks have moved out of N.O. now they have changed their minds again and want the city back and will do anything or say anything to be little the mayor and his staff! But get over it, this is what you wanted and now you realize that move blew up in your face. Everything here is so racially divided , Now I can understand why people everywhere else have developed such a negative attitude about our city. Stacy head has the right name d***k head! She is one that needs to go with her negative attitude about everything put in front of her!!!!!!! All you other clowns sit back on your computers and say your little racist comments and hire her to do your dirty work because you are scared to. What are you all going to do now, Hide out in the woods with your other buddies. Or maybe exile Nagin to Sun or maybe Jena!!!!!!!!!!!! You all created this monster!!!!!!!

Some people on this page have defnitely missed the point! I was talking about the MILITARY not COLLEGE. I hope that you did learn something in college that you could use everday in life. The military was great start for a lot of young men and women that could not afford college. Instead of being so narrow minded, you should thank a veteran when you come into contact with them instead of bashing! Which seems par for this area! People join the military and serve our country to protect narrow minded peole like you. And no it is not free! I don't care how cliche it sounds, IT'S TRUE! And, you probably made that statement because 1. you are not from the U.S. or 2. you never served in the military!

Being a former Army recruiter during the 80's and listening to people today in day to day life, Young people do not want to join the military and parents say not my child. Let somebody else do it. The only problem is FREEDOM ISN'T FREE! Suppose all current veterans thought like that. I went in the army at age 18, and it has helped me become the man I'am today! Everday in life I use something that I learned in the military!

I like the way Spurs fans justify this punk Horry actions. He only plays 3 min a game to try to take out the best player for the other team. (ask Nash, last year.) he was definetly trying to take West out for game 7. I say the Hornets ought to take the lowest man on their team, and take out one of their big three with a pick.

MOVE TO THE NORTHSHORE, WHO CARES! CHEVRON IS A 2ND GRADE GAS ANYWAY! THE NORTH SHORE WILL NEED TO BUY IT TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO WATCH THE N.O. SAINTS, N.O. HORNETS AND ALL THE OTHER GREAT ATTRACTIONS IN THE CITY WHEN GAS HITS $5.00 A GALLON!!! BY THE WAY CHEVRON, MOVE ALL YOUR GAS STATIONS TOO! (to the northshore)
